Drugs Transportation - 1,250 words
Drugs Transportation On July 30, Federal agents
charged twelve Delta Air Lines employees of
smuggling drugs into the United States. Nine Delta
Airlines workers were arrested and three others
are sought as suspects in a scheme that brought 10
tons of Colombian cocaine into the U.S. via Delta
flights from Puerto Rico. Over a three to four
year period, employees stashed cocaine in
suitcases and packed the drug into cargo
containers which were then transported primarily
to New York from San Juan's Munz Marin

16th Century English Weapons 16th Century English
Weapons During the 16th century England and much
of Europe found itself in turmoil and in a
constant state of war. The outbreak of fighting
led to the invention and development of new
weapons and the growth and change of weapons of
old. The development of weapons was a trademark of
the time, with a sort of renaissance, or re-birth
in the field of weaponry (Miller). The technology
was highlighted by the invention of gunpowder by
the Chinese which eventually found its way to
England (Grolier). However, the use of gunpowder
was minimal, because the use of had yet to be
perfected. The technological advancement most
useful during the period was pr ...

1984: A Bleak Prediction Of The Future - 1,222 words
1984: A Bleak Prediction Of The Future Nineteen
Eighty-Four was written by a major contributor to
anticommunist literature around the World War II
period, and is one of the greatest stories of an
anti-utopian society ever. Nineteen Eighty-Four
was not written solely as an entertaining piece of
literature or as a dream of what the future could
be like, it was written as a warning of what could
happen as a result of communism and
totalitarianism. This was not necessarily a widely
popular vision of the future at the time of
publication, but it was certainly considered a
possibility by many people. The popular vision of
the future, if analyzed as from a character in the
book's point of view, som ...

A Booming End To The 19th Century - 1,105 words
A Booming End To The 19Th Century More changes
occurred in America in the late 19th century than
any other time period. The country went through
rapid expansion from residents of its land to
cuisine to transportation of goods and people.
While the last quarter of the 20th century brought
many modern conveniences, the century before
brought this country things that would be nearly
impossible to live without. The development of
railroads was the single greatest change in the
19th century. In only twenty-five years, almost
70,000 miles of tracks were laid. This in itself
was a great feat, because of all the people and
products used in the building of the railroads. In
order to build railroads, ...

A Brief View Of Early Western Civilization In The 18th Century - 973 words
A Brief View Of Early Western Civilization In The
18Th Century The area of early western
civilization just following the feudal period was
a very interesting time in Europe. There were many
new innovations and problems in the way of life of
the people of that time. Agriculture was still the
main occupation of the time for most people. Two
big problems that the people faced were those of
war and poor harvest. It was said that perhaps the
largest problem was the problem with poor grain.
For the majority of people there was also the
problem of land. For these people they either had
no land of their own or insufficient amounts of it
to support a family even when times were good.
Poor harvests al ...

A Generation Set Aside - 1,280 words
A Generation Set Aside Often we hear of the
generation gap -- that huge expanse between parent
and child. Perhaps it is an acquaintance gap.
Young people and adults do not know each other.
The inability to communicate often enters the
picture. Sometimes it is because neither knows
what the other is interested in. They live under
the same roof, but they rarely see one another,
especially after the teenage years come along. The
father goes off to work before the children are
awake. Mother may go back to bed after seeing the
husband off to work; or off to her own job.
Teenagers get themselves up and off to school
without seeing either parent. Then after school
there is ball practice, band pract ...

Acid - 1,218 words
Acid Rain Acid rain is a serious problem with
disastrous effects. Each day this serious problem
increases. Many people believe that this issue is
too small to deal with right now, and others
believe it should be met head on. In the following
paragraphs I will be discussing the impact of acid
rain effects on wildlife and how our atmosphere is
being destroyed. Causes Acid rain is a cancer,
eating into the face of Eastern Canada and the
North Eastern United States. In Canada, the main
sulphuric acid sources are non-ferrous smelters
and power generation. On both sides of the border,
automobiles are the main sources for nitric acid

Acid Rain - 1,774 words
Acid Rain What is acid rain? Acid rain is the term
for pollution caused when sulfur and nitrogen
dioxides combine with atmospheric moisture. The
term 'acid rain' is slightly misleading, and would
be more accurate if deemed 'enhanced acid rain',
as rain occurs acidic naturally. Acidity is
measured on what is know as the pH scale. Fourteen
is the most basic, seven is the most neutral, and
zero is the most acidic. Pure rain has a pH level
of 7, which is exactly neutral. The acidity of
rain is determined by the pH of pure water in
reaction with atmospheric concentrations of carbon
dioxide, resulting in carbonic acid. These
particles partly dissociate to produce hydrogen
ions and bicarbonate ions ...

Adventures In E-Commerce Adventures in E-Commerce
Unless you've been living under a rock for the
last two years, you have heard about e-commerce,
and I bet you've heard about it from several
different angles. I'm sure you've heard about all
the companies that offer e-commerce because you've
been bombarded by their TV and radio ads. You've
read all of the news stories about the shift to
e-commerce and the hype that has developed around
e-commerce companies. You may have even purchased
something off the web, so you have direct personal
experience with e-commerce. In 1996 while surfing
the web, I stumbled on an online auction site.

Affirmative Action - 3,345 words
... Aguilar 1. Affirmative action should be
eliminated (Sadler 70). Affirmative action does
not solve discrimination problems; on the
contrary, it harms those the program is meant
help. The program divides society into two groups
based on ethnicity; this completely defies the
effort to have a color-blind America (where
society does not see ethnicity or a color
difference in any person). Disguised as an equal
opportunity program affirmative action
discriminates against non-minorities. Affirmative
action has its affects in collegiate admissions
and employment, however, remains more
controversial in college admissions. Many groups
protest the abolishment of affirmative action for
sake of higher ...

people weary of pervasive hostility and constraint
in their former lives, fleeing a social system
comprised of miserable oppression and repeated
violence. The primary cities for resettlement
became New York and Chicago, metropolises humming
with the vigor of big-city life and the excitement
of a new beginning. When the Chicago Commission
asked African American migrants in interviews on
Race Relations in 1922 why they came to Chicago,
responses were similar. Im looking for better

Air Bags Can Kill - 716 words
Air Bags Can Kill Air Bags Can Kill Even though
air bags are designed to save lives, they can be
harmful or fatal to some people. The National
Highway Traffic Safety Administration has

reduce injuries caused by air bag deployment by
allowing the installation of a switch that turns
off air bags. But in order to have a switch
installed, the driver must file a request for an
air bag on-off switch. People shouldnt have to
